Prevention of sideband-induced detrapping in tapered-undulator free-electron lasers

Conference · · AIP Conf. Proc.; (United States)
OSTI ID:5658154
Sideband generation results in electron detrapping in free-electron laser oscillators with long, highly-tapered undulators. This result contrasts with the enhanced extraction observed in untapered systems. It is shown that multilayer dielectric mirror coatings can provide the intracavity wavelength selectivity necessary for sideband suppression with full extraction recovery in tapered systems.
